  • That’s the same everywhere. Like here, like on Reddit, like in real life, people have ideas and then say “won’t somebody do something about it!”

    Everyone likes to imagine doing something but nobody actually wants to do anything.

    Anecdotal example; the beginning of this year proved that Discord is in bed with supplying profiling training model data to ICE in the United States. That made me want to nope the fuck out. Why stick around where every word you write will contribute to the ability for fascist agents to shoot their next victim? Tear apart the next family?

    So me and a friend set ourselves to build an as-close-as-possible drop-in replacement Matrix server for all our Discord friends.

    Nobody came.

    Fucking nobody came.

    Everyone recognises the problem, but when it comes to taking a simple action, a dead easy simple action like make an account on a server owned by a friend they’ve known for a very long time, all we got were excuses. “But nobody else is moving”, “maybe I’ll consider moving when it gets even worse”, “I just wish somebody would do something…”

    So it’s not Bluesky. It’s humanity.





  • The main issue is/was when you have and iPhone and you don’t have a Mac and you don’t have an iTunes sync account.

    Sure, for an iPhone it’s all fine and dandy when you’re fully buying into their closed and restricted ecosystem. But try to step one tippy toe out of it and you’re in for pain.

    Anyway, as for the latter; KDE Connect, like the other guy said.








  • Lewd mods were always part of his line up, but everything he showcased had a certain quality standard. There’d be some real interesting things in his videos, often from modders that didn’t get attention for their work, and the ones with sex appeal were good too (or just funny).

    But from one day to the next he shifted to basically doing only lewd mods with absolutely zero quality standard. So rather than finding out about hidden gems it was like just browsing Nexus with the “sexual content” tag.


  • VSauce, all three of them. They were peak YouTube way back when, but there was this long pause in videos shortly after they built their big studio, and VSauce 1 started focusing entirely on shorts about uninteresting things and VSauce 3 stopped making videos entirely. 1 and 2 are kinda back at making videos, but their quality jumped off a cliff. Feels like they’re making videos out of obligation.

    MxR Mods. Two reasons for this, firstly is that I kinda stopped playing Skyrim. The other being that he started focusing almost entirely on lewd mods.

    Kurtzhezacht, because their political stance became more and more apparent (billionaires will save the future).
